Premier and Minister of Finance, Honourable Andrew A. Fahie has said that the purpose of the 24-hour Lockdown was to protect the people of the Virgin Islands from COVID-19 and to detect any pockets of community spread in the Territory.

Mr. Speaker, as we continue to grow as a Territory, we believe that a Ministerial Code would lend to our future path that would involve systems being in place in keeping with our commitment to self-determination.
